Gravitational collapse in quantum gravity
Speaker(s): Viqar Husain
Abstract: I will describe work aimed at understanding the dynamics of gravitational collapse in a fully quantum setting. Its emphasis is on the role played by fundamental discreteness. The approach used suggests modifications of a black hole's mass loss rate and thermodynamical properties. Numerical simulatio... read more

Quantum gravity and the Coulomb potential
Speaker(s): Viqar Husain
Abstract: An ingredient in recent discussions of curvature singularity avoidance in quantum gravity is the "inverse scale factor" operator and its generalizations. I describe a general lattice origin of this idea, and show how it applies to the Coulomb singularity in quantum mechanics, and more generally to l... read more
